Performance management includes, but is much more than, the annual year-end review. The process promotes a shared responsibility between managers and employees for performance planning and assessment, two-way communication throughout the year, and engaging staff in opportunities for continuous learning.

Objectives are as follows:

• Clarify job expectations and performance standards
• Develop alignment between individual objectives and department and/or institutional goals;
• Provide meaningful feedback on employee performance;
• Provide opportunities for learning and professional development; and 
• Provide recognition for accomplishments.
